GROCERIES.

There has been tremendous increase in the
volume of the wholesale grocery trade reaching
ruby 70 per cent. This market continues to
grow in favor with interior and Florida mer-
chants, as it is now one of the cheapest mar
kets for the staple articles OF food supplies in
the country, as well as one OF the most conven-
lent. The territory tributary to this market is
increasing yearly. Its business is thoroughly
dlummed, and the facilities and advantages Of
trading at this point has been well introduced.
Shipments in nearly every direction show a
permanent growth of the grocery business is
very noticeable. There has been an increase in
the number Of jobbing houses by the addition
or Two new firms TO the trade. Another feature
is that the number of commercial travellers rep
resenting this city has been considerably in.
creased within the last year. All are kept con
stantly on the road. The result of such thorough
canvasslng is that there are not neor so many
spot buyers visiting the market formerly.
The bulk OF the business is now done on orders
by mail and travellers solicitations. All this has
been caused by the close competition of other
cities. Jo0bers have lost considerable business
which they formerly had from the naval stores
trade. This has been brought about by the
naval stores factors carving their own stocks
OF groceries and supplying their shippers and
stores in the naval stores territory direct with
goods During last year this practice has
seemingly come to stay. The 1obbers, Of course,
feel that the naval stores have cut into their
business little, but what they have lost In this
way has cen more than made up by the enor-
nous increase in their business, both in the sale
OF goods and the addition of more territory. The
trade has experienced some peculiar phases in
the demands and sales OF goods. The sales OF
coffee have fallen off fully 30 to 80 per cent.
The reason of this Is the very high prices at
which coffee has touched. The advance within
year was over 100 per cent. Tea has taken
the place of II for the time. aud the sales of it
have been very large and are still increasing;

cotton they found good staple as the Gulf
cotton. and II compared favorably with that Of

higher, but the past season changed that some
what, and they are now nearer on a level. This
condition of affairs was brought about by the
quality of the Georgia cotton, which was OF the
very best and graded well, and, besides, buyers
claim that the New Orleans cotton is q non
descript, as cottons from Georgia and Florida
are offered for sale there and are
classed Orleans, the same as Gulf cot
tons. How the planters Jared generally
is not known, but the belief is that
they did well from the fact that they made fewer
demands for money from the factors, and they
paid up their debts more promptly than ever be-
fore. 1t is said that, as body, they are in bet
ter condition financially than they have
been in many years. Some of the
larger factors continue to com
plain of the loss of business
with the middlemen, owing TO the practice of
exporters in buying in the Interior but the
smaller factors made a more satisfactory
showing on smaller shipments direct from the
planters themselves.
The Owe: lind movement was again very large
and the takings by Northern mills quite heavy.
That the Southern mills did well goes without
saying, as the whole of the South is increasing
its capacity for manufacturing cotton goods.
Most of the mills il operation have been run
ming on overtime, and others are under contract
for their productions for several years ahead.
The consumption by Southern mills is CON
stantiy and heavily incIeas NJ. The European
mills also were in quite a healthy CON
dition and bought literally, as their consump-
ton was correspondingiy large. The result of
the seasons business is seen in the fact that the
stock in this country is the smallest ever known
at the closing of a season, Notwithstanding that
more than an average crop produced.
There is some dissatisfaction expressed at the
quotations of this market, which, it is claimed,
misead planters and others. Our quotations
are grade lower than other markets. For in
stance, what we call strict middiing, Charleston
calls middling, and quotes it at 1sc. to We.
higher than our middling. The consequence is
that it works against this market and some
shippers take it for granted that cotton does not
bring as much money in this market in 9th
ers This is matter which should be looked
into and remedied, On Aug. g., the close of the
cotton year, the following spot quotations were
given by the Cotton Exchange for new crop

Sailing Vessels-There slight scarcity of
vessels for foreign exporters, particularly dur
ing the past summer, but this not unusual.
Rates on naval stores and lumber were all gen
orally low. Freights by coastwise sailing YES
business of the year opened at figures above
those of the preceding two years, the advance
being equal to fully 25 per cent, and this ad-
vance was steadily maintained. The supply of
tonnage was generally fairly up to shippers re-
quirements, and there were no marked
changes in the course of the
trade during the year. The present outlook
The followingis the total number of vessels
arrived at this port during the year, with their
rigs, nationality and net tonnage. The number
does not include arrivals at Tybee but only the
vessels which have actually arrived at the
wharves, and have discharged and loaded. 1t
does not include river or island coast steamers,
nor does it include vessels under 100 tons.

NAyAL STORES.

NAVAL STORES
Receipts of naval stores at this port for the
past year were 2S per cent, heavier than the
year before, aggregating upwards of $4,000
casks spirits turpentine and 10000 barrels
rosin, much the largest we have ever had
Savannah easily holds the first place in the
trade, her receipts being nearly as much as all
other Southern ports combined. And when we
consider the vast extent of untouched pine tim.
Der in our state, and the exhausted condition of
other States we can surely count on keeping
the lead Us long as the industry lasts.
In regard to prices, spirits turpentine has
iuctuated less than is usually the case, csc. be
ing the lowest price of the year and 3Sc. the
highest The year before the lowest price was
2S1sc. and the highest 4915c.
Resins have ruled duh and declining for the
greater part Of the year, and while the decline
has not been 80 unusual in the lower grade,
the higher grades, or those made from virgin
turpentine, are unprecedentedly low. We have
never known 'N' rosin down to 81 IS before.
A great deal of rosin is still unmarketed, and
there seems to be no doubt but that this article
will continue to be depressed in price until the
over.production has been used up. We append
usual tables, which have been made up with
great care from official and other sources, and

The total amount of tonnage at this port the
past year was a little larger than that of the
previous season. The change in the
guage of the railroads resulted in
transporting much of the lumber to West
ern cities by rail, which previously
had reached a market by way of the sea. There
was not therefore the demand for coastwise
sailing vessels that there had been in previous
years. There was, however, no falling off in
steam tonnage. In point Of fact, more steam
ers loaded at this port the past season than ever
before for direct ports in Europe. OF course
there were periods of depression and some
scarcity of tonnage in the early fall.
There was not much moved in charter
contracts for foreign steam vessels as
the rates were very low The coastwise
steamers all did well and carried heavy freights
throughout the year. When the cotton freights
fell off there were plenty of lumber, naval
stores and miscellaneous merchandise freights,
and the vessels were generally filled to their
full capacity, in some instances carrying heavy
deck loads. The outlook for the coming season
is very fair. A great deal of cotton is expected
here this season and it is anticipated that car
rers will receive better rates for freightS.
Already number of charters have been made
of English steamers for this and next month.
The rates are not known but the majority are
at lump sum per ton. The following is the num-
Der of foreign steamers, tonnage and bales of
cotton carried from this port from September,
1885, to Aug. 81, 1887, ana for the past several
wears.
